Afraid to Trade Blog Anniversary!

Thank you so much to readers of the Afraid to Trade blog! I owe so much to you for reading, linking to, and sharing the blog and the analysis/commentary/education I share with you.

I wanted to provide the traffic statistics provided by my webhosting service to show you how rapidly the blog has grown, and also share a few ideas of new changes that will be coming to the blog in the next few months:

First, here is a graphic that shows how the blog has grown over the past year:

Second, here is the actual table of traffic statistics:

In summary, in the one year first anniversary period beginning March 1^st 2007 to March 1^st 2008, Afraid to Trade has experienced 3,717,337 hits (which includes search engines and feeds), and 517,695 visits (which includes visitors). Readers have viewed 1,183,013 pages at Afraid to Trade!

I cannot express how thankful I am to all of you who have taken part in the blog in any way, whether through giving me ideas, linking to posts, adding me into your favorite feed reader program, commenting, emailing me, or just reading.

As promised, I want to provide some ideas I’m working on currently for the expansion of the blog into a full website that will provide a resource to traders to further their education and provide a source of interactive knowledge for you all.

I just started working with a website design company to see if they can put some of my ideas into a comprehensive webpage, and I will keep you up to date on the status of that process/project.

Please let me know if you have ideas or suggestions as to what you would like to see on the site, or what resource/information would help you as a trader. Please email me at corey AT afraidtotrade DOT com for submissions and I will appreciate all ideas and suggestions.

I am humbled by all you readers and you continue to motivate me to provide more and better quality information to help you in your journey as a trader. I look forward to the next year and from hearing from you! I am indebted to you all.
